“I have been working in the mental health/substance abuse field for over 35 years. I have seen many trends in therapy come and go but have found the only thing that helps others is the technique that they can use on their own outside of the therapist's office. It is my mission to help others help themselves. My clients have found great benefit and healing in the very effective tools I use in therapy, such as EMDR, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Developmental Needs Meeting Strategies (DNMS), and my very own Thought Changing Exercise.

“I have a deep respect for the wisdom and insight within each individual, and I believe every person has the innate capacity to heal and grow. I try to nurture this growth by providing an environment of warmth, acceptance, and compassion, as well as clinical skills and life experience. I greatly enjoy working with adults, children, and families as they create more fulfilling lives and move towards authentic well-being. I have experience helping people with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, grief and loss, parenting concerns, and troubled relationships.

“Welcome! Therapy is a process of self-discovery. The decision to seek therapy is a sign of strength and an indication that you are willing to invest in yourself!
My goal for each session is to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where together we can explore and discover insights about your life, the root cause of stumbling blocks, and the means to help you heal, change, and grow. Whether you have lifelong problems or perhaps more current issues you are dealing with, I believe there is always a path available for change.

“I believe all clients possess the solutions to their problems. Therapy is a place to discover these solutions and find new ways of thinking, behaving, and feeling. Working from a systemic and insight-oriented perspective, I help clients achieve a better sense of awareness that can alter behavior and functioning. As a client-focused therapist, I strongly value the therapeutic relationship. Whether the focus is to alleviate current stress or understand life-long issues, I provide a safe, supportive, and compassionate space that allows us to develop a collaborative relationship to work towards achieving the goals of the client.

“I believe that people "turn corners" each and every day. Sometimes these corners are dark and gloomy, facing us with challenges that directly impact our mental and physical well-being. If not recognized these challenges can become problematic, and reveal themselves in our lives as anxiety, depression, anger, and health issues. I will assist you in gaining back control over your present and support your realization that your immediate circumstance is not a life sentence. My goal is to meet you where you are, then help you tap into your own personal strength and resilience, while giving you tools to use in your everyday life.

“Sometimes in life we struggle and feel overwhelmed by our problems or circumstances. During these times, it is beneficial to sit with a compassionate and objective therapist to help identify potential solutions that lead to change, improvement, and growth. Often, people have erroneous thought patterns or long held mistaken beliefs about themselves, which prevent them from achieving the life they want. My approach is to create a sensitive and nonjudgmental environment to assist you in properly identifying the root cause of the problem or to provide the coping skills that make the situation less overwhelming and more tolerable.

“Life is tough. No doubt about it. Sometimes its downright overwhelming. In these times it is especially beneficial to have someone to help you as you wade through it all. People come to counseling for a variety of reasons. Probably most people who voluntarily come to counseling are looking for some healing, and the hope of moving forward with their life. How about you? Do you want to get your "heart" back? Make some changes? Move forward with your life? That's good. I'd like to help you with that.

“An ideal client would be one, I think, that has arrived at a place that tells them they very much need to change or understand something in their lives, and are ready to begin work on that. I believe that everyone struggles with the actual making of those changes even when acknowledged. The willingness to seek out help represents the courage necessary to move toward those goals of understanding and change.
